Phil Spencer wants to bring OG Xbox emulation and Xbox Game Pass to PC
They're not announced for PC yet, but the big boss wants to make it happen.
Phil Spencer 希望初代 Xbox 模拟器及 Xbox Game Pass 能登陆 PC
PC消息尚未正式宣布，但老大希望这么做。
One of Microsoft's big announcements at its E3 press conference this year was
support for Xbox backwards compatibility on the Xbox One. Not Xbox 360
backwards compatibility, which has been around for some time: OG Xbox
backwards compatibility, starting with beloved air combat game Crimson Skies.
Naturally, when we talked with Xbox chief Phil Spencer today, we asked if we
might see that emulation make its way to the PC in the future. His one-word
answer?
"Yes."
微软今年 E3 发表的一大亮点就是初代 Xbox 相容。在这次和 Phil 的访问我们很自然地
问到这个模拟器有没有机会登上 PC，他的回答只有一个字：“有。”
Straight to the point. Exciting! But also: we wanted more. Thankfully, after
letting that affirmative hang in the air for a few moments, Spencer
elaborated.
"I want people to be able to play games!" he said. "[Emulation] is hard.
[Xbox] 360 specifically is a PowerPC chip, emulated to x86, which is
difficult. It's a little bit easier when you have a fixed spec, when you
think about Xbox, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. And you think of the variable
specs of the PC space, so you're taking a fixed-spec PowerPC emulator and
then moving it over to run on PC, so there's a lot of work there.
（文组看不懂，总之 X360 相容没那么容易）
"The original Xbox, OG Xbox, is a little bit easier, because that was an x86
chip it was running on. Obviously when we think about UWP and the ability for
games to run across console and PC, we're getting closer. I want developers
to be able to build portable applications, which is why we've been focusing
on UWP for games and even apps that want to run on multiple devices.
（不过初代相容容易一点）
"So I think we've got work to go do there, but I think it's in our future."
Phil：“我认为我们团队有许多任务要做，但未来相容是有可能登上 PC 的。”
We also asked Spencer about the Xbox Game Pass, a $10 monthly subscription
that grants access to a library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. Given
Microsoft's increased PC focus, could we see the Game Pass on PC, too?
我们也问了 Phil，Xbox Game Pass 是否能上 PC？
"I've said I want to bring Game Pass to the PC. The team doesn't love it when
I pre-announce things, but I definitely want to bring Game Pass to PC,"
Spencer said.
“我曾说过我希望这么做。虽然其他团队成员不喜欢我提前发表情报，但我确实想让
Game Pass 登上PC。
"It's a business model that I think could be good for creators, and when
business models work for creators, it usually means good content will come
for gamers. I like that. We don't have the deep catalog of games on PC that
we do on console, so I've had some pushback from the marketing team that,
well it wouldn't necessarily be the best feature right now, because we won't
have enough games, but I just want to start. So I'm putting a lot of pressure
on the team to go get enough content lined up to do something on the PC, and
then make sure we have a long-term commitment to build."
“我认为这个商业模式对创作者是好事。有了对创作者友善的商业模式，通常就代表
优质的内容能给到玩家手上。我们在 PC 上的游戏并不像我们在主机上的多，所以我们
的市场团队并不鼓励这么做，告诉我现在推出并不合适，毕竟我们没那么多游戏。不过
我还是想着手开始做，所以我开始给团队设立目标，希望能在 PC 上有足够的游戏，保
证能长期提供这个服务。”
Spencer had more to say about developing games for PC, the return to Age of
Empires, and what Microsoft still needs to do to improve the Windows Store
and UWP. Check back soon for our full interview.
